PROBLEM:
- Upload form was minimal, not using full backend capabilities
- Missing: recipients, departments, acknowledgement requirement
- No folder indication when uploading to specific folder
SOLUTION - BACKEND:
- Added 'acknowledgement_required' field to DocumentWriteSerializer
- Now accepts: sent_to_all, department_ids, recipient_ids, acknowledgement_required
SOLUTION - FRONTEND:
Extended DocumentUploadForm with enterprise-grade features:
NEW FIELDS:
1. Sent to All Toggle
- Checkbox to send document to all employees
- When checked, hides recipients/departments selection
2. Recipients Section (when sent_to_all = false)
- Multi-select for departments (with Building2 icon)
- Multi-select for specific employees (with Users icon)
- Live loading from API
- Validation: requires at least one department OR recipient
- Helper text for Ctrl/Cmd multi-select
3. Acknowledgement Required
- Checkbox to require recipients to acknowledge reading
- Clear explanation of what it means
UX IMPROVEMENTS:
- Folder indicator: shows when uploading to specific folder
- Visual sections with dividers and headers
- Icons for each field type
- Warning when no recipients selected (amber alert)
- Better validation messages
- Reset all new fields on successful upload
API CLIENT:
- Updated createDocument signature to include acknowledgement_required
- Properly serializes checkbox values as strings
DATA LOADING:
- useEffect loads departments and employees on mount
- Loading states during fetch
- Handles empty lists gracefully
VALIDATION:
- Requires file and title (unchanged)
- NEW: When sent_to_all=false, requires departments OR recipients
- Shows user-friendly error messages
BENEFITS:
- Full feature parity with backend capabilities
- Professional document management workflow
- Granular control over document distribution
- Acknowledgement tracking from upload stage
- Better UX with progressive disclosure
